It's been screwed since the Articles were trashed when the current roll of toilet paper was foisted on the soveriegn, freemen by a few dozen despots. It is a general principle of law and reason, that a written instrument binds no one until he has signed it. How many here signed the current constitution? Currect... none...
Our reps do not need sign on to the Constitution to be beholden to it. Much like you and I do not need to sign a document stating our willingness to not break the laws that apply to everyone. The Constitution is the framework under which our govt. is supposed to work. Now that does not mean every rep will follow the Constitution just as we have criminals that do not follow the rules in the ranks of the citizenry. Reps that do not abide by the rules and framework set forth by our Constitution should be treated as the criminals they are.
